# Enhanced Read Scalability with Non-Voting Servers
|
|
|
|
[Consul Enterprise](https://www.hashicorp.com/consul.html) provides the ability to scale clustered Consul servers
|
|
to include voting and non-voting servers. Non-voting servers still receive data from the cluster replication,
|
|
however, they do not take part in quorum election operations. Expanding your Consul cluster in this way can scale
|
|
reads without impacting write latency.
|
|
|
|
For more details, review the [Consul server configuration](https://www.consul.io/docs/agent/options.html)
|
|
documentation and the [-non-voting-server](https://www.consul.io/docs/agent/options.html#_non_voting_server)
|
|
configuration flag.
